Anew partnership<br />
between Siemens<br />
and the University of<br />
Sheffield is being launched<br />
to accelerate digitalisation,<br />
boost digital skills, and<br />
promote technology and<br />
knowledge exchange to meet<br />
the needs of increasinglydigitalised<br />
industry.<br />
The partnership is based<br />
on the MindSphere Innovation<br />
Network developed by<br />
Siemens to connect a<br />
university’s estate and<br />
research assets into its IoT<br />
platform MindSphere. It then<br />
makes this data available to<br />
improve teaching and research<br />
collaborations between<br />
academics and industry<br />
partners, to uncover new<br />
business models and create<br />
commercial opportunities<br />
through digitalisation.<br />

In addition to linking its<br />
estate and research assets<br />
into MindSphere and acting<br />
as a living lab to help equip<br />
graduates with the skills<br />
they will need in an ever<br />
increasingly digitalised<br />
industry, the University of<br />
Sheffield and Siemens have<br />
also invested in a bespoke<br />
space for collaboration and<br />
learning between students,<br />
local businesses and other<br />
partners. The ‘MindSphere<br />
Lounge’ is located in The<br />
Diamond Building – the<br />
University’s largest ever<br />
investment in learning and<br />
teaching. Students, academics,<br />
industry partners and Siemens<br />
experts can use the area to<br />
access MindSphere to harness<br />
the value of the data produced<br />
from the University and the<br />
various projects connected to<br />
the cloud-based platform.<br />
Teams from Siemens<br />
will be based on campus<br />
to help projects and engage<br />
the communities.
